"Do you long for someone to "get" you? I work with people who experience themselves as outsiders to dominant culture: creative artists, performers, activists, LGBTQ and gender non-conforming folks and people who may feel "other" due to cultural or family bias. Using an anti-oppression lens, I strive to be especially sensitive to the ways racism, sexism, homophobia, bi-phobia, transphobia, ageism, heterosexism, classism, anti-Semitism, ableism and other forms of oppression impact emotional health and well-being. My goal is to provide you with both a warm witness and a concrete plan to feel better and make desired changes in your life."

"At downtown Seattle and Bainbridge Island offices, I offer a unique blend of change strategies, called Self Empowerment Coaching and Counseling - best suited for stable professionals, creatives, business owners, and leaders, needing extra support navigating life changes. Research from psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and law of attraction, confirms our beliefs, more than external circumstances, determine our success and happiness. Our beliefs are reflected back to us in the lives we create for ourselves. Beliefs are upheld by habitual thoughts and feelings. As you intentionally build inner positive momentum, your external world will begin to reflect that back to you, in the form of greater success."

"I work with men, women and couples who have been affected by unwanted sexual behavior, be that pornography, affairs, or buying sex. I've found that these behaviors offer a sense of escape from the difficulties of life, but far more, they attempt to ruin the aspects of our lives that hold the most potential for goodness - your family, relationships, and identity. The struggles we face are not random or capricious. Therapy will explore the unique reasons that set up your behavior and journey with you into a new, desired future."
